About the Item

Red Thumbprint - Abstract Expressionist Composition in Acrylic on Paper A bold abstract painting by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). This piece is a monoprint - it was painted on a panel or glass pane and then pressed into the paper. The shape resembles a fingerprint, as it has somewhat of a spiral pattern, but is squared off at the edges. The paper in this piece appears to be tan, but has tiny fibers of red and blue woven into it. Signed and dated along the bottom edge: R. de Silva '86 Acquired with a collection of the artist's work. No frame. Paper size: 24.75"H x 19"W From a collection of Ricardo de Silva's work and memorabilia. DeSilva was born in Brazil and grew up in Los Angeles. He was a gallery owner, first in Santa Barbara in the 1960's and 70's, then in San Jose in the 1980's. He was dedicated to promoting the work of talented upcoming artists, including Kogyo and Hasui Kiyochika, Robert Frame, Jim Stuckenberg, Alice Robertson Carr, Deborah Eve Alastra, Russell Kelly, and Diana Mark.
